Science AMA Series: I’m Kevin Coffey, an assistant professor in the department of Psychiatry at the University of Rochester Medical Center in Rochester, New York. I have 27 years of experience helping adults, teens and children dealing with anxiety and depression. AMA!

Hi there! I am going through a difficult period. My mood is changing, temperament and style of living. The next year I'll be a teenager. I know this is a part of puberty, and life, but I have a problem. My family hates it and keeps saying "you changed, why are you like this, we want you back, why aren't you normal like all the people". I don't want to be like the normal people, I want to be original, but my family keeps saying these things and does not understand that I want to be another person, someone better, because in the past I did many stupid things, and I want to be someone else, someone who actually thinks. Sometimes I have suicidal thoughts but I can manage to keep my sanity okay. I'm depressed, I can't sleep well and I keep thinking about what to do at every minute and second, I can't stop thinking about the changing problem and other problems with school, because my classmates' parents hate me because I have good grades, and keep saying lies and other things. What do you recommend me to do? I don't want to be stressed anymore, I want to be happy like a normal human being.
